Now for my side of the story....... Thursday was a very exciting day for me, after my tire went flat and I had to maneuver my lame bike on only the rear tire. Which I might add is not easy! I was looking rather the fool as I swayed all over the road trying to control my beast of a bike. How that retard in the truck could have missed seeing me is beyond my understanding.
After arriving at the gas station, I stomp on over to Fred Meyer, a Mad woman on a mission. I race thru the store find what I need and proceed to the check out. The lady at the self check out gives me a strange look and steps quickly out of my way. I pay for my tire and with a few more strange looks stomp back over the gas station . Upon my arrival, SIDEKICK who is on the phone takes one look at me and busts a gut laughing. Some how along the way I had given myself a sweet Hitler grease mustache! Well, no wonder people were going to great lengths to stay out of my way. We have now coined the term HITLER MAD!
After all of this, SIDEKICK and I decide that we need BEER! So we bike to her house, and head to our OTHER FAVORITE BEER STORE to replenish our souls and stomachs. After this SIDEKICK decides that she needs some "real" biking clothes! So off we go to REI. I, of course have been longing for a sweet new bike, well let me tell you, it was like letting a kid go in a candy store. Needless to say an hour and several hundred dollars later we emerge. SIDEKICK with a huge bag of "real bike clothes" and me grinning ear to ear with a sweet new bike. Taking from one of the terms we learned from our "real bike friends" It's a Sick ride!
This is all leads us to Friday. Due to the recent excitment of the new bike, of course we decided to ride to work again. (normally we do not ride on Fridays)
Well, the day before with everything that had happened, (I forgot to mention) we had also locked our keys in the office. Sooooooo...... We had to ride to the boss's house first and acquire some keys. It's about 31/2 miles out of our way so we decided to explore the trails. It was like riding in a rain forest. Everything was green and luscious, the sun was shining and we were taken in by the beauty of it all.
At some point we realized that we should get off of the trail and figure out where we were at. Long story short, we were way out of our way, and now needed to get back on track.
At the end of the day and several errands later we figured that we had ridden between 18-20 miles!
On our day off I might add!
Today I am a little sore, but still grinning from ear to ear!
